Best Chilli Con Carne With Cheese Quesadilla Triangles Recipes
JAMIES CHILLI CON CARNE
I was given 'Happy Days With The Naked Chef' and found that I enjoy Jamies style, he can be relied on for sensible recipes that work. I decided to try his Chilli Con Carne for my son and husband one weekend when the girls were away. Good comfort food, served over rice, DH found this spicy while I thought it could be pepped up a little more (sometimes I surprise myself!!).... adjust for your own taste! Jamie recommends chuck steak, minced, but I used ground beef that I had in the freezer. I don't think the sun-dried tomatoes are traditional, but they are a nice touch! This dish is ideal for make-ahead, and definitely tastes even better the next day!

Steps:
- In a large pot, fry onions and garlic in a little olive oil until soft.
- Add chilli powder, fresh chilli, cumin and a little seasoning. Then add the meat and continue to cook, stirring, until it has browned.
- Process the sun-dried tomatoes in your food processor, with a little oil from the jar, enough to loosen into a paste.
- Add these to the beef with the tomatoes, cinnamon stick, and the water. Check the seasoning, and add more if you prefer.
- Bring to the boil, cover, turn the heat down and simmer for about 1 and a half hours.
- Add the kidney beans about 1/2 an hour before serving, they are already cooked and only need to be warmed through.
- Serving suggestions, steamed rice, crusty bread, a tossed salad, some guacamole or/and sour cream/yoghurt.

Steps:
- Sweat the onion, garlic, chilli and thyme in 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan. At the same time, brown the mince in a separate pan over moderate heat in a little oil.
- Add the dried spices to the onion mixture and cook until they release their aroma. Then stir in the beef and mix well. Add the fresh and tinned tomatoes and leave to cook down a little for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or beef stock and stir in tomato puree to taste. Drop the cinnamon and bay leaf in then bring to the boil and leave to simmer.
- Once the sauce is beginning to thicken add the kidney beans and leave to cook for another 5-10 minutes to allow the beans to soak up the flavours. Check for seasoning.
- Serve over steaming hot rice.
KICK ASS NACHOS USING LEFTOVER CHILLI CON CARNE OR CHICKEN
To the untrained eye this doesn't look much cop but it's such a good dish you just gotta try it! The jalapeños are essential as is the sour cream and guacamole. I've given the beef version below but I also like using shredded chicken, onions and garlic, with black pepper and cayenne instead of the chilli con carne. A complete meal in itself and damn fine one at that.

Steps:
- Assemble the Nachos on individual plates. Try to distribute the ingredients evenly, in little pockets, throughout the nachos including the cheese but reserving some to sprinkle on top.
- Microwave for 2 minutes making sure the cheese is melted and top with guacamole and sour cream.
- Eat with your hands and get really messy. Fantastic!
